Favorite Scene Friday! Jaws: Quint Scares The Shit Out Of Us

In the 1975 masterpiece that made Discovery's SharkWeek what it is today, we have a scene more terrifying than Jaws itself. Quint telling an old war story that laughs in the face of OpenWater. Listening to him tiptoe through the tale brings chills to my spine and I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I were in Chief Brody's pants, I'd be a soiled insomniac. As this is the Hatch's 100th post, I felt this was the perfect scene to encapsulate what the Hatch is all about. Stories to help us escape the present moment. Even if that escape is a terrifing one. Happy Friday, hope it was a good one. Here's to you Quint, 'Ol Buddy, thanks for the Scary Story. Cheers!
